    Family has three houses. We bring the entire winters worth in every year. Never had a problem with bugs roaming around. If anything they’ll stick to their homes and get burnt up.

    Here’s mommas supply. She had a house fire so EVERYTHING from the house has to be removed. She usually gets another load or two every year. She runs the stove wether she needs it or not :)

    Sorry to hear about your mom's house. Hope she is ok. Were they able to save the house?

    If you have a fish tank the larvae are a treat. I frequently see them as I split but never see them on dry wood.

    Masonry house with oak joists. It’s fine structurally. Smoke damage throughout tho. Moms OK. It’ll be tough on her but she’s a tuffy. Thanks for asking.
